See what changed, whether it affects you, and how teams ship with confidence. [Meet cypress tap: give your AI agent the context the Cypress app shows you Cypress AIcypress tap is a new set of CLI command to pull Cypress app context into your terminal. It lets AI agent drive a Cypress open session from the terminal, so it can author new tests, extend existing ones, and read failures the way the Cypress app shows them.Read more](/blog/cypress-tap-cli) [All](/blog)[Releases](/blog/category/Releases) [Community](/blog/category/Community) [Education](/blog/category/Education) [Customer Stories]() [Company](/blog/category/Company) [Webinar Recording | Cypress.io + Percy = End-to-end functional and visual testing for the web This post was originally published on the Percy blog \[https://blog.percy.io/cypressio-percy-end-to-end-functional-and-visual-testing-3a5ffab006c4\] on April 17, 2019. Last week we joined Mike Fotinakis of Percy \[https://percy.io/\] and hundreds of attendees from around the world for a live webinar to talk about the power of using end-to-end functional and visual testing together.

The test runner (in this case Cypress.io \[https://www.cypress.io\]) is driving the app via its DOM elements; it is clicking and typing and scrolling. The test runner checks if the application behaves correctly by explicitly executing assertions against the displayed text the user sees and implicitly by interacting the elements. But what is going on under the hood? Is the web application correctly processing user actions? In this blog po Read more](/blog/using-events-emitted-from-your-application-during-end-to-end-tests) [Live Webinar | How GoDaddy Created A Culture of Quality Through Test Automation with Cypress GoDaddy \[https://www.godaddy.com/\] powers the world’s largest cloud platform dedicated to small, independent ventures, with 18 million customers worldwide and 77 million domain names under management.

The core of the web application will remain easy to check from our tests, while external effects can be observed or stubbed. The Cypress.io test runner has limitations. For example, when controlling the network requests, Cypress can spy and stub XHR requests only. We will remove this limit when issue #687 \[https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/687\] lands, but for now if your application is Read more](/blog/shrink-the-untestable-code-with-app-actions-and-effects) [Join the Team With 10,000 (GitHub) Stars!

GitHub is home base for many of the developers using Cypress—which is why it was our initial focus when we enabled social login to the Cypress Dashboard.
